Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Michael Pratt is a guy I could see in round 4.
Not if there’s an OL available that they like
I agree with all except you crapping on Mayer. Bowers is on another level but Mayer isn't just a blocking TE. Everyone has to remember that TE is one of the hardest positions for rookies to come in and play in the NFL. I saw so many comments reacting to people being excited with the pick that were "that is what we daid about Mayer and he was a bust". That is no where near the case.
That's what I really like about this, they are way different guys and this should be easy to do. We're going to very quickly find out if Getsy was the issue in CHI or the scapegoat. Mayer is the typical in-line TE think Jason Witten. Lined up next to the tackle, bull blocker in the run game, might even be held in to block on some pickup packages. Bowers will be in the slot, the the H, in the U, hell I'd make him our 3rd down RB. You wanna see a blitz pickup? How about I head fake, slide into the flat, and let the QB lob one up to me while my assignment is flailing around like a fish out of water?
Oh noooooooo
Do you disagree? You left off the part where I said " unless Bowers makes it impossible not to make him a major part of the offense, which is possible.". Perhaps I was editing my post.
I disagree with the stipulation. Our QB's should be just fine with any semblance of competence from the OC. AOC was borderline fine last year with getting thrown into the fire with zero pre-season prep, the HC/OC getting whacked, and a QB coach in way over his head calling plays. Minshew was perfectly solid last year getting the ball where it needed to go. We're not going to be an offensive juggernaut but there are 250+ catches left over after Adams and those will mostly be split amongst Meyers, Mayer, and Brock Party health permitting.
Fantasy wise, it is a hit to Mayer. This caps his fantasy production but real football wise, they, as a duo, can present real problems for defenses. Key in on Bowers? Ok, well, who you putting on Mayer. Now we are going to run it and both of these guys are like extra tackles- good luck! I don't think there is any team in the NFL who has the personnel to match up against that. If we don't do a good amount of damage, it will be because we are not using them correctly and/or some dang good schemes.
I think it was you who was talking Bowers up way back in this thread , i didnt even know who he was , so i went and watched his highlights and was blown away .Top 5 favorite Raider draft picks.
This guy hits, we have a 1 of 1. The only one in the NFL.
I also love offenses that run 12 personnel. Defenses run nickel to stop 3 WR. They don't run it to stop 2 TE.
After the Vikings drafted, my friends (bunch of Eagles f**kers) asked me what I wanted. I said in a dream world the Broncos took Nix, and Raiders take Bowers, but I thought it was gonna be an OT. The room went crazy when the Raiders took Bowers.
Anyone who has ever whinged about reaching and BPA and drafting for need, if they don't like the pick, has clearly been lying for years.
Add in that AP has clearly stated that every job is up for grabs , you wanna start you gotta earn it. I see that making competition between Bowers and Mayer intense ,and each making the other that much better.
Oh no, I didn't mean, oh noooooo he's actually gonna be a fantasy stud in LV, I mean oh noooooo I don't care and the Brock Bowers thread is two doors down
Because of that offense.
Because of that offense.
In terms of projecting him to the offense the Raiders run, it's like projecting a cricket player to MLB.
We are raider fans in here. My raider FF players and their stats can wallow in misery if it means the actual team is doing well. We’ve been over this before in here with you. Yes this is a FF website/forum. But in this thread we are raider fans first.
Right into Denvers lap? They reached. Let 'em.
I think I have Mayer in two of my three dynasty leagues.... don't care.
Getsy better incorporate the throw to flat. There were a ton of them n that video. And I didn’t make it all the way the through.
Agreed. No wrsNow that we locked up the TE position as we were all expectingI would love either of those 2 CBs listed above or the top remaining player on OL.

I Am not worried about Denver and Nix. KC is still the team to beat in the AFC.
Now we have our rose-colored glasses firmly in place
PFF did a mock based on team needs. Before they started they stated, we know drafting based on needs is the worst possible approach.
A wr? No way. OT and maybe CB would have made sense. But bowers is really highly rated. We’ll just have to wait and see. Dude just might be deebo light
I saw that... didn't bring it in here because I didn't want to hear the "yea, but he has concrete boots" circles again.
Not happy they landed Worthy. Even if he can't get off the line.... Reid will figure out a way to get him loose and we all know what Mahomes can do with a burner.
